海星化学成分及药理作用研究进展

摘要

Starfish belonged to Asteroidea of Echinodermata, Compendium of Materia Medica said that got pain in wet weather, drink the broth of starfish, sweating was overcome. So far, many chemical compositions were isolated from the starfish, mainly included saponin, sterols, polysaccharides, alkaloids and collagen protein and so on. Modern pharmacological studies showed that the active ingredients in starfish had anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anti-virus, blood pressure and hemolysis, so the natural resource had good value for development.%海星(Starfish)，属棘皮动物门(Echinodermata)海星纲(Asteroidea)，《本草纲目》中海星纲的海燕有“阴雨发损痛，煮汁服，取汗即解，亦入滋阴药”的记载。到目前为止，从海星中分离得到的化学成分主要有皂苷、甾醇、多糖、生物碱及胶原蛋白等。现代药理研究表明海星中的有效成分具有抗炎、抗菌、抗病毒、降压、溶血等作用，可见海星这种天然资源有良好的开发价值。
